WASHINGTON — NJ Transit will receive more than $34 million in federal funding to upgrade stations on three routes to meet accessibility standards, U.S. Sens. Bob Menendez and Cory Booker announced this week.
Grants awarded under the Federal Transit Administration’s All Stations Accessibility Program are:
— $18,187,378 to the Anderson Street station in Hackensack and New Bridge Landing (River Edge) stations on the Pascack Valley Line;
— $14,513,743 to the Bradley Beach station on the North Jersey Coast Line;
— $1.4 million to the Chatham and Orange stations on the Morris & Essex line.
“Public transportation is vital to residents across New Jersey and our transit stations must be accessible to everyone,” Menendez said in a press release. “Whether people are trying to get to work, go to the doctor, or buy groceries, New Jerseyans with disabilities deserve safe and reliable access to our public transportation system.”

Financial justice?
Great. My federal taxes from Illinois are going into projects in South Carolina that I will never use.
